<\/a><\/p>\nShortly after the Friday night leak of Donald Trump making vulgar remarks to Billy Bush about women<\/a>, former Apprentice<\/em> producer Bill Pruitt tweeted that recordings exist of Trump saying “far worse.”<\/p>\n As a producer on seasons 1 & 2 of #theapprentice<\/a> I assure you: when it comes to the #trumptapes<\/a> there are far worse. #justthebegininng<\/a><\/p>\n — Bill Pruitt (@billpruitt) October 8, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Today, producer Chris Nee tweeted that when she worked for Apprentice<\/em> producer Mark Burnett she signed a contract that contained a $5 million penalty for releasing footage without authorization.<\/p>\n She also talked about what she has heard are on the tapes:<\/p>\n @mcuban<\/a> the price is 5 million to cover the penalty fee. And we all get to hear him use the N word from what I hear t.co\/IsmJvHHL1K<\/a><\/p>\n — Chris Nee (@chrisdocnee) October 9, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I don’t have the tapes. I’ve signed a Burnett contract & know leak fee is 5 mill. Hearing from producers\/crew N word is the “much worse”.<\/p>\n — Chris Nee (@chrisdocnee) October 9, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Burnett, a Trump ally, is more than aware that any potentially damaging footage is in big demand and has been threatening those who might leak it, Buzzfeed News reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n A powerful Hollywood ally of Donald Trump has threatened staffers who could release potentially damaging outtakes of the show, a source close to Mark Burnett told BuzzFeed News.<\/p>\n Burnett, the producer of The Apprentice<\/i>, and his production company have not responded to requests for comment from BuzzFeed News and many other outlets since grotesque outtakes from another show rocked Trump’s campaign Friday, even as former staffers have suggested on Twitter (without clear evidence) that The Apprentice material could be just as damaging.<\/p>\n But the person familiar with Burnett’s thinking told BuzzFeed News that the producer is backing his star.<\/p>\n Burnett “is pro-Trump and has made clear to his teams that he will sue anyone who leaks,” the person said.<\/p>\n .@MarkBurnettTV<\/a> why are you threatening\/silencing your staff to protect @realDonaldTrump<\/a> Bully to bully. afraid of truth and freedom<\/p>\n — Robert Greenwald (@robertgreenwald) October 9, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Earlier this month we reported on an AP investigation of more than 20 people<\/a> connected with Donald Trump’s Apprentice<\/em> franchise reveals that Trump regularly demeaned women<\/a> sexually behind the scenes on the show.<\/p>\n The AP quoted one former crew member’s specific story:<\/p>\n “We were in the boardroom one time figuring out who to blame for the task, and he just stopped in the middle and pointed to someone and said, ‘You’d f–k her, wouldn’t you? I’d f–k her. C’mon, wouldn’t you?’ Everyone is trying to make him stop talking, and the woman<\/a> is shrinking in her seat.”<\/p>\n The post Trump Allegedly Uses N-Word in Unseen ‘Apprentice’ Footage<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
